Fly Your Airplane to the Land of Eternal
Bliss

 We
have all been blessed with an airplane with which we can
escape the miseries of this material existence by flying
to Krishnaloka, the land of eternal bliss. That airplane
is consciousness. The spiritual master is our fight
instructor and the scriptures are our flight manuals. If
you are tired of the material miseries, you should take
full advantage of the airplane that Krishna or God has
given you and get trained up how to fly your airplane.
Otherwise you will remain grounded here perpetually in
the cycle of birth and death.

Question:
Why Did I Not Become Self-Realized? |
|
|
A few years ago I was
meditating without any goal and to my surprise my
thinking stopped completely and there was only the
feeling of existence, without any body or anything else.
When I returned from this state I felt a great euphoria
and love for everything. But it didn't last long. I am
still identifying with the body after this experience.
Why didn't I become self-realized?
Thank you for answering and for the great course,
M.A.

Answer: You Did Not Awaken Your
Love for God |
|
|
Until you revive your
original loving relationship with that person who is the
source of everything, the Supreme Personality of
Godhead, whatever spiritual awakening you may have will
only last temporarily. This is described in the Srimad
Bhagavatam (10.2.32) as follows:
ye 'nye 'ravindākṣa
vimukta-māninas
tvayy asta-bhāvād aviśuddha-buddhayaḥ
āruhya kṛcchreṇa paraṁ padaṁ tataḥ
patanty adho 'nādṛta-yuṣmad-aṅghrayaḥ
"Even though those who undergo great austerities to
become self-realized may experience a sensation of
merging into Absolute Oneness, of being liberated from
material existence, because of not being engaged in the
service of the Supreme Lord, they cannot remain there
permanently. After some time they will fall back down
into material consciousness."
Therefore, if you would like to become permanently
self-realized, you will need to follow the instructions
given by Lord Sri Krishna in the Bhagavad-gita on how to
become fully absorbed in His devotional service. In this
way you will become a perfectly self-realized soul, and
you will never return to material consciousness. Upon
leaving your body at the time of death you will re-enter
the Lord's eternal pastimes in the supremely splendorous
spiritual sky.
